A couple days ago we commented on Buckley v. Haddock (11th Cir. 2008), in which a few law clerks on the Eleventh Circuit got off on explaining how it is not only okay to tase the shit out of a poor person, but even if it were not okay, the officers could claim qualified immunity. (Which, I pointed out, is an incorrect qualified immunity analysis.) Legal Blog Watch points out that the dissenting judge suggested that the lawyers post the video of the poor piece person being tased to Youtube, because the majority so enjoyed the fact that the cops could tase the shit out of a poor person that he didn’t even deserve a published opinion. (Even though there was a concurrence and a dissent.) So, here is it. On Youtube.
